Wet Morning !

Wasn't able to hike this morning. Every attempt  to leave the truck with camera in hand ended up quickly getting back into the truck before getting soaked.. However, I did manage to get a few captions.This doe was extremely curious. I was behind the camera and she was not quite sure what I was, She closed the gap by 10 yards before turning and walking away.
This turkey was sprinting as I tried to capture one presentable pic.

Morning Of Birds

This mornings hike would take me to one of my favorite swamps. My plan was  to sit in hopes of seeing a doe with a fawn. Wasn't to be this morning. While sitting quite, a variety of birds kept me entertained.
